Wow

I haven't posted over here in awhile.  Real life has taken front and center, as it should, and I haven't logged into WoW in...I'm not really sure how long.  I've had the itch to log in and run around farming stuff, or just log in and see if anyone I know is still around.  But I just haven't.  Now the date for the next expansion (which I don't even know the name of-yeah, I'm that out of it) has been released.  Three days after my birthday.  I'm torn, do I log in and get back into a casual routine and try to figure out what's coming?  Or do I wait until the expansion (well, a few weeks after at least-it's gonna be crazy at first) and get back into the game then when I have to relearn stuff all over again because they are going to change everything again?  I guess I should go do some reading.  Or maybe I'll just craw back into bed...

More WTH

So as you know from my last rambling post I’ve leveled a Paladin to level 85 (or maybe I didn't mention the level).  My sweet hubby and I have been PvPing together to get some gear to do stuff in because the gear we leveled in is not good enough to to much with now.  Along with getting gear comes the why, what for and how.  I have to decide if I want to just PvP with her and farm achievements, do I want to run in raids/instances, and what build am I going to settle on?  I leveled Retribution if you care.  Now that she is 85, I have to make the decision Healadin or Tankadin.  Since my healy druid has been dead to me I haven’t really had any interest in healing with anything else, so that leaves Tankadin as my only option.  So ok.  How hard can that be?  I just run up to a mob and start hitting it.  

Oh wait.  I have to make sure I’m not standing it acid or some other substance that will it hard for me to heal.  Ok, so run up and hit stuff but keep moving.  

Oh wait, I’m playing with other people some of which may be cloth-wearing aggro whores.  I need to be able to get aggro back.  Ok, so run up and hit stuff, keep moving, and generate whatever aggro nabbing mad skills I can.  Um.  What?  

/facepalm

So what I see happening at this point is me running up to hit shit (screaming as I go) and then hitting all my buttons as fast as I can hoping I’m moving, holding threat and hitting the right shit.  Did I mention the screaming?  My poor husband, who plays on the couch next to me.  This may be a bad experience all around. 

Farming achievements is sounding better by the minute. Less performance anxiety that way!

WTH am I Doing?

I don't post here very often.  There was a large amount of time where I was not logging into WoW, or really doing anything of note.  Over the Christmas/New Year holiday I started playing again.  I rolled a Blood Elf Paladin (I should really post pictures, my toons are cute) some time ago and was having fun with her but just lost interest.  We had left Union of Lost Souls (ULS) and had created our own guild consisting of three people.  That is fine and dandy, but then WoW went and did this thing where you get perks for being in an active guild like faster mount speed and increased experience in leveling.  So again, I got her to about 72 and lost interest.  When I started playing again over the holidays it was here I went to.  I should have said she is on our old server (since I seem to feel the need to populate more than one).  Wow this is kind of all kinds of rambley!  Anyway, so I'm on our old server and playing a new toon.  Hubby has leveled his main toon (handsome Tauren shaman) to 85 and is looking to raid/run dungeons.  Long story short, we find ourselves back in ULS!  The thing I need to remind myself, guilds are ever changing.  People come and go (and I wish there are some people that would GO-but I think we are ok) and truth be told I really missed playing with some of the friends I (we) made in ULS.  Thanks to the bonus to leveling I got my Paladin to 85 over the holidays and have been PVPing with her to get some gear.  I just have to figure out now hat I want to dow tim her.  She is designed to either tank/off tank/heal.  I'm really really apprehensive about tanking, and am not really interested in healing with her.  I'm getting some gear so she can at least get into dungeons, but again I have to figure out her role.  It's been really good getting to talk to the guild friends again.  There are lots of new people I'm still trying to figure out, and I'm trying to not let it take over my life like it had before.  I like getting things done around the house, or not having to scarf down a dinner.  Balance.  I'm going to strive for balance this year.  (And figuring out wtf to do with my paladin)
